Elders and Decons I.Tim.3:1-13 and Tit 1:5-9
I Tim. 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
I Tim. 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
I Tim. 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
I Tim. 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
I Tim. 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
I Tim. 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
I Tim. 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
I Tim. 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
I Tim. 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
I Tim. 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
I Tim. 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
I Tim. 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
I Tim. 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Titus 1:5-9
Titus 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Titus 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers
